today I wanna show you my entry for the piCture pOlish Nail Art Quaterly.

This quaterly was a "Flower Power"-themed nail art contest with some rules: we had to use up to three (piCture pOlish) polishes and, when needed, black and white acrylic paint. Furthermore it had to be a freehand design. Only brushes, dotting tools, sponges and water had been allowed - so no tape, stamping or vinyls.

But since my collection consists mostly of dark blues, teals and reds, it was hard for me to think of a flattering flower power design while looking at my polishes. Luckily I was able to borrow some colors from a friend.

After thinking about how I want to realize the theme, I decided to try some little roses. The colors I've used are tiffany, eerie and kryptonite.

If you wanna see all the beautiful entries, check out the hashtag #ppnailartquaterly1 on Instagram. There some stunning creations.

It is super easy to do and it really works. My nail is now stronger than before the break and it's nearly impossible to tell, that I've done something to that nail after it's painted. And you do not have to redo this when you do a fresh manicure. You can leave it on untill it's grown out or remove it with acetone once the break grew out.

Now broken nails are no longer a problem for me.

What do you do when your nail broke? Cut them all off or repair it?

Thank you do much for looking in! Can't wait to read how you handle a broken nail!

This is one of the limited polishes of 2015 that F.U.N Lacquer came out with. Its color is a lilac-y mauve with silver flakies, holographic shimmers and micro glitters as well as golden micro glitters. I'm wearing two coats here.

This polish is a true beauty. It is so dimensional, that it's impossible to take great pictures of it. And it's different to all the micro glitters that F.U.N Lacquer normally does.

What do you think of Storm? And did you get something from this collection?

today I have OPI - A Grape Affair from the OPI Coca Cola Collection for you.

It's a dark purple creme. And even though it's dark, you can definitely see that's not black. It's opaque after two coats.

It seems like OPI loves colors like this. Vant to bite my Neck? is the exact same color. Viking in a Vinter Vonderland is the same color but a bit darker. And I Carol About You has a similar, but lighter color and some shimmer.

How do you like A Grape Affair? Do you like those colors? OPI has a wide range of dark purples to choose from.

today I wanna show you essie - saltwater happy from the Peach Side Babe Summer 2015 Collection.

This color is a pretty light blue with some grey and lilac undertones. Unfortunately these undertones don't show up on my pictures. It needed two coats for full opacity and the application was smooth and easy, especially for a color like this.

Saltwater happy is a great color for all year around. The grey and lilac undertones make it so versatile.

How do you like this color? And did you buy something from this collection?

This color is a lovely and pale greige. I love shades like this and this one is on the point in my opinion. Unfortunately it's the same as with Doric Cream and Ease Vanilla: Amazing color with a kind of disappointing formula. I'm wearing three coats here and my nail line is still visible. Four coats would have been better.

The next time I'm at a & other Stories -Store I'll be picking up a dark color. I'm not sure if all their polishes are like this or just the pale pastel colors.
